Dragons Weep Today

The world of science fiction and fantasy writing lost a powerhouse this week. Anne McCafrfrey died on Monday at the age of 85.

Author of almost 100 books, McCaffrey was best known for the Dragonriders of Pern series. During her 46 year career she won a Hugo Award and a Nebula Award. Her book The White Dragon became the one of the first science fiction novels ever to appear on the New York Times Best Seller List. She was honored by induction into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2006.

Dragon tears are diamonds, and if you catch one before it falls to the ground and melts, you'll find that they are perfect and each one is different. If you can catch one. And if you live to tell about it.
